Ottawa officials discussed an all-electric incentive tied to the Hidden Meadow complex with 72 apartments and an adjacent 18 units. A future 88-unit development north of 17th and east of Mission Woods and Pine Manor could follow the same plan. The KMGA long term gas purchase proposal was reviewed, with a 10 year bond financed contract to meet half the needs, pending member pricing. The council also weighed Internet access on channel 8 for schools while keeping control over future channel use, and approved BG Consultants to estimate paving rock road costs at 8 350 dollars for city wide applications with 75 percent city funding and 25 percent owner shared benefit districts.
